When leaving the Ales School of Mines, my first employment, as project Manager and Trainer within company P2I Engineering, allowed me, all along these 7 years, developing my sense of contact and growing my technical knwoledge as well in project management as under software development.

It is strong of these experiments that I was then engaged, in 2001, by Symtrax, an international company (London, Boston, Los Angeles, Mumbaï, Nimes), publisher of software dedicated to analysis and data distribution. My main functions, initially, consisted in training the products manager to the project management like to methodology. Then, those quickly evolved to the management of the information system of the company, distributed on its 5 sites.

Then I was in charge of the management of the network (Proxy server, Mail servers, Active Directory server, Web servers, ftp - based on Windows (2000 and 2003) Operating Systems as well as Linux (RedHat) and SunOS - Solaris) of these 5 sites.

To manage Symtrax Information System, I set up existing tools (Nagios, Microsoft MOM 2005, SNORT…) and have developed my own solution (a solution for fighting against Spam on our Exchange server (in VB.NET 2005 and C#).

Moreover, I’ve managed the installation and the configuration of Microsoft CRM 3.0 on the Company’s sites.

This work implied a daily communication, in English, with the users of all the sites.

From march 2007 to end of 2008, at Data Health System, I was in charge of a new system that detect people’s fall: Ynolis.

From march 2009, I'm working as Consultant for Prometeo (http://www.prometeo.fr)
